Economics by Example

By David A. Anderson

Book Overview

Lively, surprising, yet filled with solid economic content, Economics by Example is for students who want to understand why they should study economics while in the process of learning it. This concise paperback introduces economic principles in the context of real-life applications, with much to say about how the economic way of thinking can improve students' decisions. Economics by Example was created to support traditional texts but it can also be used on its own, in courses requiring minimal mathematics or graphical analysis.

Customer Reviews

Intelligent discussion of economics

Economics by Example is exactly the resource I was looking for to supplement the economics classes I teach...Each chapter is filled with documented facts that make any discussion meaningful...My favorite chapter, "What's behind the Music Industry Woes?" is a penetrating look at CD pricing...I am planning on using this book when I teach contemporary issues at the community college next semester...The discussion questions at the end of the chapters are excellent for reviewing the content of the chapter.
